May 24, 2021 - A TCN intern takes a trip on Solta Island without preparation, encounters unusual experiences with the locals, and learns lessons that will be helpful for anybody visiting the closest island to Split. 1. Clothes do not make the man. A port does not make the island. Don't be too quick to judge. Rogac port where the ferry from Split comes does not impress a traveller. Like most people, I had visited the more popular island of Brac before I went to Solta. Rogac loses out to shiny Supetar, the biggest city on Brac. The port of Rogac…

May 23, 2021 - TCN contributor Ana Bacic looks at the hidden gems of Karlovac.  On the way to the coast, one must pass Karlovac, which is located just 49 km (31 miles) southeast of Zagreb. The old historic city built in 1579 was surrounded by a large, fortified wall in the shape of a six-pointed star. The fortification of the city was founded by Habsburg’s archduke Karl II. Thus, its name: Karlo-vac. Its massive walls served as a military outpost during the war against the Ottoman Empire. Over the centuries, the city streets and buildings spilled over the fortress,…

May 22, 2021 - The relaxation of measures to combat the pandemic, given the decrease in infections and the current vaccination campaign, is one of the reasons why the American demand for Dubrovnik and Croatia as travel destinations for this summer season has increased considerably. Dubrovnik undoubtedly stands out as one of the most popular destinations to visit in the summer. And although the city has a lot to offer twelve months of the year, and this is something that has recently been worked on through the digital nomads project as an ideal destination to work remotely, it cannot be denied…

May the 22nd, 2021 - Croatian holidays are being sought after as the epidemiological picture across most of Europe becomes more favourable and the vaccination rollout picks up its pace. It seems that when it comes to guests with higher paying power and deeper pockets, there isn't much to question when it comes to their arrival this summer. As Poslovni Dnevnik/Suzana Varosanec writes, there has been some excellent news circulating about this tourist season, which is hopefully going to be significantly better than it was last year. Even for those guests who prefer to stay in other types of accommodation,…

May 21, 2021 - Croatia should be removed from Germany's red list today, meaning from Sunday, no quarantine will be required to return to Germany, and travelers will only need to show a negative test. Before the big school holiday weekend for the Pentecost begins in Germany, the German Robert Koch Institute should remove Croatia from the list of high-risk countries at 3 pm today. This is great news for Croatian tourism, which could achieve some slightly higher numbers in the next two weeks when Germans traditionally travel, reports Jutarnji List.  Judging by what happened this Easter, when Istria, along…
